The advice and rantings of a Hollywood script reader tired of seeing screenwriters make the same mistakes, saving the world from bad writing one screenplay at a time. Learn what it takes to get your script past one of these mythical Gatekeepers.

Screenwriter and friend-of-the-blog F. Scott Frazier experiences a milestone this weekend with the theatrical release of his first film The Numbers Station. It's getting only a limited release, but I know he'd appreciate it if those of you near those theaters would check it out. Need some enticement? Check out the trailer.

And here's a complete listing of cities and theaters where you can find it theatrically.

But this being the 21st Century, theatrical isn't your only option. You can also rent it on iTunes and watch it in the comfort of your own home. And just to sweeten the pot a little further, Scott will be doing a live-tweet tonight (Thursday), starting at 8pm PST. Follow him at @ScreenWritten or use the hastag #TNS to follow the conversation.

And if you're interested in revisiting my interview with Scott, you can find it here:

Wow, cool trailer. And I like the high concept. Hopefully this movie will make it the Bonney Lake Multiplex so I can see it. Fingers crossed. As my contribution would add an additional $ 11.50 to "Number Station's" gross. And if they factored in the cost of popcorn and a Coke, we're talking like over $20 to "Number Station's" gross!

About Me

I've been reading scripts in Hollywood for over ten years. In that time I've read for Oscar-winning production companies, and one of the "Big Five" agencies, among others. I'm here to share what I've learned.... mostly because I'm sick of reading bad scripts.

I'm that guy you need to get past at the agencies and production companies; the first one in the office to read the script.
